Besides, it's also a league I used to play in on the baseball side, so IM pretty familiar with their ways of doing things. They're also extremely generous on game fees, last weekend, I worked three games at $35 each and afterwards, the coaches tipped me an extra $35. Quite often, they'll tell me to keep the change and go buy myself a burger on them. It's a great league to work for...
I understand they are the ones paying your fee and the ones who call the shots, but they cannot write a simple set of sandlot rules?

Personally, I would at least ask them to put their ability to opt out of any rule or restriction, just to cover your tail should something occur down the road especially if there were the possibility of injury, no matter how remote.
